Filling the Well Artist's Retreat and The Well Artist's Residency is a non-profit incubator for creative persons so they may pursue their work with focus and discipline. It is an environment where artists are given permission to be artists, where spontaneity and play are encouraged, and where individuals are brought closer to honoring their artistic integrity.

FILLING THE WELL ARTIST'S RETREATis a weekend of work, inspiration, productivity and revival. Every artist, to stay inspired, must reach out to revive the creation from within. This weekend offers a getaway from New York City where artists come to be creative and gain tactile experiences in a disciplined group setting. Bedding and vegetarian Ayurvedic meals (with ingredients from the Filling the Well garden) are provided.SIGN UP

THE WELL ARTIST'S RESIDENCY exists outside of the Filling the Well Retreat and serves as a residency for artists to apply as a group (i.e., writers groups, Theatre companies, acting companies) to develop specific projects for a weekend. Filling the Well provides a supportive environment so the group may productively focus on their work, along with the option of being led in Filling the Well activities and assignments, should the artists-in-residence choose or not choose to do so. Bedding and vegetarian Ayurvedic meals (with ingredients from the Filling the Well garden) are provided.﻿SIGN UP﻿

Whether as a Retreat Attendee or Artist in Residence, you will spend the weekend in the Park-Graves Estate, on 2.5 acres of land in the historical Doylestown, Pennsylvania. It's a 2 and 1/2 hour commute via Transbridge Buslines (44.00 roundtrip) from New York City's Port Authority. Bedding, bathrooms, showers, and kitchen is provided. Along with a piano. Private separate office space. A lake. And mother nature as your backyard.

Starting in 2014, Filling the Well also hosts Filling the Well Retreats and Residencies at the Dragon's Egg in Ledyard, CT.

Hi. I'm Diana Oh and this is my mom and dad.

Hi. I'm Diana Oh. I am an artist. I founded and have run Filling the Well since Fall of 2011, a year after my beloved Aunt Cece passed away and left behind her amazing legacy and home in Doylestown, PA where Filling the Well first took place. These are my parents. They grow the Filling the Well garden (where fresh, organic produce is picked for our meals.) They love Filling the Well. A. Lot.
